Jazz Diatonic Harmonica Filip Jers

I woke up on a rainy / sunny day in september and felt for playing some jazz on my diatonic harps. I did that a lot maybe 5 years ago, but has since then I mainly been playing and practising chromatic harmonica. I can not choose just one of them, they offer different things in different situations.

So here I jam with a backing track between two before-lunch-coffees.

I use a Suzuki Firebreath diatonic harmonica.

Hope you like it and feel free to comment or ask questions

Peace & Love

Hi Filip, really hope I may play as well as you!

Do you need to set the harp to overbend setting??

[FilipJers]

@jimmyharp Hi, yes I did the normal stuff, embossing with UST-tool, reed gapping, tuning, etc

great man!!! so beautiful to hear a diatonic sounding jazz. Is that 12th position?

[FilipJers]

@AraguaJam Yes or 1st flat - same thing.

Thanks, Filip, This was a beautiful way to start my morning. The future of the harp is clearly in good hands.

[FilipJers]

@avidgreen Thank you very much for your nice words ! I´ll promise to do my best !

I have been playing a lot of Charlie MUsselwhite, it's nice to hear a different style/genre, Which key is it in? Thanks for posting as I now have a new style to learn.........

[bertibecher]

i ment 1st flat ;-)

[bertibecher]

Very nice, I like this 1st pos, which is much more versatile than other pos. Great! BB
